Fukuoka Gets 6-3 Win
Soggy conditions did not keep Fukuoka and Nagasaki from playing their scheduled game.

Falcons center fielder Akihito Otani left his imprint on his team's 6-3 win over the Nagasaki Stars. Otani was 2 for 5 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for Fukuoka in the contest. Sadakazu Minami got the win, improving to 3-5. He worked 5.1 innings, giving up 3 runs on 5 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 0. Kijuro Fukushima notched his 23rd save in 31 chances.

Otani contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Fukuoka in the top of the third. With his team trailing 1-0, Otani took a splitter from Roku Yamakawa and stroked the home run to right. His 23rd home run of the season allowed the Falcons to leap in front, 3-1.

"We had some nice at-bats at the right time," said Falcons manager Horace Jackson.

With the win, Fukuoka pushed its record to 55-53.
